Far-left Senator Bernie Sanders has said he would support Joe Biden in taking executive action regarding the situation at the southern border.
In an interview with CBS, Sanders made the sensible point that you can't let thousands of people enter the country illegally, which is currently happening with the support of the Biden regime:
There is a disaster on our border, there has been an attempt to pass something, a lot of politics is going on. Republicans want to be more extreme than Democrats. The bottom line is, you can't have tens of thousands of people trying to come into our country illegally every week.
But what you can do is develop a long-term immigration policy that says, among other things, that children who are born in this country become citizens, that we have a sensible and rational policy in terms of immigration. What we don't have right now. This will require bipartisan cooperation.
When requested by the interviewer if he would help an govt order to ease the scenario, Sanders mentioned he would.
Nonetheless, he then blamed so-called local weather change for the scenario, claiming that illegals are transferring to the US as a result of their crops are failing, not due to unimaginable incentives given by the Democratic institution:
You see, my father got here to this nation from Poland on the age of 17 with out a penny in his pocket. We’re primarily a rustic of immigrants. And we’ve to discover a humane resolution to a very very troublesome drawback.
And we should additionally acknowledge that as we attempt to develop a wise immigration coverage, have you learnt why persons are fleeing? They’re fleeing Latin America and elsewhere as a result of local weather change has made it unimaginable for them to develop their crops, as youngsters are being killed by drug violence of their communities. So, it is a complicated difficulty. We’d like a humanitarian response to this.
Sanders is thought for his distinctive views on immigration. Though he helps granting citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegals, he as soon as condemned open borders as a coverage created by the Koch brothers to import low-cost labor and drive down wages.
“Open borders? No, that's the Koch brothers' proposal,” he mentioned in 2015. “I believe as an ethical duty, we’ve to work with the remainder of the industrialized world to deal with worldwide poverty issues, however you don't try this by making folks even poorer on this nation.”
